And he’s funny!

A theatre critic inviting engagement, what a concept. What’s Nestruck’s Reputation in Toronto theatre?

As I’ve already proved, a blog can turn into a pretty lively place if people stop simply agreeing with each other, and start scrapping a little.

Also, you lot should be over at Nestruck’s blog, throwing your hats in. He’s a great blogger, and no one is leaving any comments.

there’s a chicken or the egg question embedded in this though: does more theatre lead to more blogs about theatre or vice versa? i’m pretty sure it’s the former.

That is awesome. Maybe we should start calling ourselves “blogtenders”.

Blogs are the virtual clubs & bars of the 21st century. Like club & bars blogs are places where people meet, hook up, debate, argue, brainstorm, and get inspired. Blogs are not a luxury, they are essential. And Toronto theatre, for the most part, just does not get this. No excuses, Toronto: MORE theatre blogging RIGHT NOW!

Really Mike? Even from a marketing point of view do you not think that a larger theatre blogging community in TO can’t maybe lead to more discourse->more interest->more action->more funds? I’d really like more Vancouver theatre blogs to interact with, I think it ups the exposure of the form in general.

Ian? As the resident blogger, what’s your take?
